Amelia Park Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A single vineyard in the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River is sourced for this wine. This vineyard consistently produces perfectly balanced parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
The site is completely dry grown on gravel loam soils and the quality of the site is reflected in its ability to grow healthy well balanced canopies and ultimately grapes. Season as with every vintage, challenges arise from mother nature. Lots of hard work and grapes from the sub-region of Margaret River, that consistently produces perfectly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
The Amelia Park Reserve Cabernet has a complex bouquet of blueberry, cassis, violet and graphite.
Its palate is beautifully balanced and finely structured showing luscious red berry fruits and smooth fine tannins. Aged in French oak for 18 months this wine offers excellent cellaring potential.

“Beautifully poised and expressive cabernet. The bouquet is all floral and cigar box with a touch of black olive. The palate is where is ratchets up a notch. Graphite and minerally ironstone threads through to the tightly controlled burst of flavour intensity and drives to a sustained finish. It's loaded with power, yet delivered with an effortlessness that is so appealing.”
